The agreement will add 300 hours of new programming to Netflix and is part of Dreamworks’ strategy to expand its television production and distribution worldwide.
Dreamworks is
the maker of massive silver screen hits like Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda. In December, a series called “Turbo: F.A.S.T,” based on the upcoming DreamWorks film “Turbo,” will debut exclusively to Netflix customers. Other original programming will debut in 2014.
